The Forty Part Motet, MoMA, NY

I saw this installation at PS1. At PS1 the room was lined with windows and it was lightly snowing outside. Ann and I walked around the space and you could hear each individual voice from each speaker as you passed which of course melded into one beautiful aural and sculptural experience. Sitting on benches at opposite ends of the gallery, we looked up and discovered we were both demurely sobbing. We then immediately burst out laughing at the absurdity and beauty of crying openly in an art exhibition.

In Mountains In Stars - Hazards Of Loving Creatures from Phil Bebbington on Vimeo.

Hazards of Loving Creatures:

Hush my darling lie still and slumber
Holy Angels call your name
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently fall on my head

The air is so thin
Ground my skin to the bone
in the warbling wind, grace
Not for me, but for her

Prospect of Heaven makes death easy
Darker doubt yet lingers for the rest of us
Heavenly Blessings without number
Gently fall on my Head

The air is so thin
Ground my skin to the bone
in the warbling wind, grace
Not for me, but for her
